Warcraft 3 was one of the first games that got me fully hooked on PC gaming. It had everything. Super sexy graphics (for its time), addictive gameplay, lore that you could really get lost in, and it was just a phenomenal game. It’s so great that a few friends and I still play it fairly regularly, even about 15 years after it originally launched.

Blizzard obviously knows this and has revealed that they’ve given the game its “first official PTR”, and even threw in a new update for good measure.

Overwatch has always been a team-based shooter, where the only way to win is to cooperate, pick heroes that benefit your team, and hug each other ever so tenderly. But sometimes you just want to run around and shoot people in the face, and according to a new Overwatch developer update, you’ll soon be able to do just that.

As the game’s director Jeff Kaplan puts it, “I know at one point I said we would never have deathmatch in Overwatch, well surprise. Never say never. It’s coming really soon, and we think it’s awesome.”

Early last month, Blizzard announced that Hearthstone‘s next expansion will be all about the Lich King and his band of intimidating Death Knights. Alongside that announcement came the news that the pack will add 135 new cards, including new “hero cards” which turn your hero into a Death Knight that comes with a battle cry, some sweet armour, and a shiny new power. The expansion will also introduce new single-player missions and some other cool stuff.

What that original announcement failed to mention was when we’d be able to get our hands on Knights of the Frozen Throne – but thanks to a new post on the game’s official page, we now know it’ll be out on 10 August (i.e. this Thursday).

Last week Blizzard revealed that Heroes of the Storm‘s next champ will be Garrosh Hellscream and that he will “devastate all those who stand against him in the Nexus”. Unfortunately, the developer didn’t give us much else to go on. Until now. Two videos have since been uploaded to the game’s YouTube channel, the first being Garrosh’s very own spotlight trailer featuring his various abilities and suggestions on how to play him. The second one shows off some of the cool skins, mounts, and other cool stuff currently in the works at HOTS HQ.

It’s been quite some time since a new Warcraft character was added to Heroes of the Storm – the last one being Valeera Sanguinar back in January – so Blizzard announcing that the game’s next hero will be the hot-headed orc and disgraced former Warchief of the Warsong clan Garrosh Hellscream is a welcome surprise.

The announcement comes via a tweet from the game’s official account, which includes a short GIF of the character, and reads: “Lok’Tar Ogar, Heroes! Garrosh, Son of Hellscream, will soon devastate all those who stand against him in the Nexus!” The developer hasn’t really revealed much else about the hero, but we can expect him to be added to the game’s PTR during “the week of July 31“.
